I'm a solo developer, and this is the first PC game I ever worked on. Development started nearly 3 years ago!

This game is, and always will be: Single Player Only! this is a slower-paced, Investigation game, and not really suited or balanced for multiplayer.

This game also uses some Lightly satirical content, like location names, and some location backstories.
